First song you ever legally downloaded?

[VoR]

If you have an iPhone go to Settings, then click your name at the top > Media & Purchases > View Account > Purchase History and then set the date range as far back as it'll go.

Mine are very on-brand:

 

[Ellie]

Ooh

 

[VoR]

What a random Alanis song to pay to download in isolation

 

[jivafox]

 

[Suomi]

Sounds like my purchases soundtracked all the stages of a typical night out

 

[Sheena]

Confessions on a Dancefloor as it had the individual songs rather than the continuous mix. But Apple fucked it up somehow from memory so I got my money back and a free copy.

I wasn’t much of a legal downloaded ever.

 

[Marilyn]

Love Etc. and Did You See Me Coming by PSB in June 2009

 

[Diddy]

Are they all things you would say in a nightclub (with a lift)?

 

[Diddy]

Considering how reluctant I was to the world of legal downloads, I’m surprised that mine was Foundations by Kate Nash in 2006 (Christ)

 

[Suomi]

Does anyone remember when Madonna - American Life was on Napster or something as
Corinna May - I Can’t Live Without Music

 

[POP!]

Mine only goes back to 2014, which showed Lorde "Ribs", The Kiss Me Once album (deluxe), and "Baby Don't Lie" by Gwen

I mostly bought physical only until 2010.

 

[GNL]

Legal... download? Never experienced that

 

[Dark Carnival]

I don’t think I have THAT many to be honest. I went straight from illegal downloads/legal physical to Spotify.

 

[Marina Salty]

None.
Technically there was a preinstalled U2 album as an incentive to buy a certain apple phone once, but I didn't buy the phone for that.

 

[VoR]

Bunch of THIEVES

 

[Cerro de Casa]

[Cerro de Casa]

2009 doesn’t make sense though.. that’s far too late for me.. I’ll do some more digging

 

[POP!]

Amazon used to sell digital albums for $3.99 (or less if you were Lady Gaga ) and I remember buying Femme Fatale, Born This Way, Loud for cheap when they were released.

 

[RJN]

I really thought rich girl was my first

 

[VV]

I'm pretty sure it was 'This is the world we live in' by Alcazar.

 

[Soldi]

My current iTunes account only goes back to 2017. I had an older one that was set up around 2011 or so.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I have no idea what was going through my head at the time for the Leona purchases...

 

[BoysForSeles]

This phone doesn’t go back all that far. I can remember my first vinyl but not cassette, cd or download.

Still making the final decision on Dancing Lasha Tumbai 16 years later? I say download it, it's quite good

 

[Tetris-Rock]

I think I changed iTunes accounts in 2009 - my first is Telephone by Lady Gaga ft. Beyonce.

Like a lot of people here though, I pertained my music collection through… other means. Frequently my iTunes purchases are just me trying to help a song to number one in the charts!

 

[Cerro de Casa]

I think we need an all inclusive all formats first and last purchases / listens thread!

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Not a surprise

I have no idea what the song is. A quick Spotify check and still none the wiser

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Alisha’s attic Karen sister no?

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Alisha’s attic Karen sister no?

Oh I know who she is. I just have no recollection as to why I’d ever buy this song, wasn’t a big Alisha’s Attic fan so can’t work it out

 

[GNL]

Because it was a bargain at just £0.00

 

[ILL ADVISED]

Wasn’t worth it

Just checked what the first songs I ever scrobbled on last FM were...

My secret REAL MUSIC shame

 

[AlgoAlex]

I think I used to buy from 7digital before apple but my first itunes purchase was Matt Willis.

 

[VoR]

Mine are... quite different to @GNL's

 

[AlgoAlex]

Alisha’s attic b sides, DIDO, NAT and a Hanson song I can’t even remember
